Lunatik3 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I used to have to drive my ex to/from work downtown. Every morning there was the same couple sitting at 71N/Broad St. exit. I occasionally would grab some extra canned food and sometimes fruit and soda etc. They always thanked me and were gracious.On the other hand, had a guy ask for $ when I lived on campus (sign said work 4 food). I talked to him for a few and he said the usual. No home, no family etc. I said if he wanted, he was welcome to come to my place and do just as he advertised. Pull some weeds, mow lawn whatever. and I told him that I had clothes to fit him, a hot meal and some canned foods. In addition I had an old army canvas tent that was waterproofed and did not want/need anymore. Gave him address and he said sure. Never saw him again.

Bodyman Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Unfortunately I see it too often. I get tired of seeing the same people, trying different excuses. I understand some situations, where we have all needed some help. But, damn it!! Some people take advantage of kindness. Which is B.S.!!! This has caused people that actually need help to be denied! I feel bad for some, but get pissed at most! I give when I can, but only once per person. What really gets me is when they act pissed that we are not able to give anything. That is just plain crazy. But, that is the way they roll!!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow if he asks for money I am going to slam him like he is an 84 year old lady.

dmagicglock Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 i love the one's that sit outside of the reds stadium and have signs that say "at least I'm honest, need money for booze" They usually end up with the most money, but none from this guy. Once had a homeless guy in philly come up and clean my windshield and make it MORE dirty, did give him a dollar to stop touching my car. He was clearly not faking it, he had seven kinds of aids and a bag of leprosy. Felt bad for him, at least he had a business model, just needed to invest in cleaner rags/water/spit?

wrillo Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I was hoping someone had a good experience with a bum not all of them are bad!!!"Moments" - Emerson DriveI was coming to the end of a long long walkWhen a man crawled out of a cardboard boxUnder the E. Street BridgeFollowed me on to itI went out halfway acrossWith that homeless shadow tagging alongSo I dug for some changeWouldn't need it anywayHe took it lookin' just a bit ashamedHe said, You know, I haven't always been this wayI've had my moments, days in the sunMoments I was second to noneMoments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't doLike that plane ride coming home from the warThat summer my son was bornAnd memories like a coat so warmA cold wind can't get throughLookin' at me now you might not know itBut I've had my momentsI stood there tryin' to find my nerveWondering if a single soul on EarthWould care at allMiss me when I'm goneThat old man just kept hanging aroundLookin' at me, lookin' downI think he recognizedThat look in my eyesStanding with him there I felt ashamedI said, You know, I haven't always felt this wayI've had my moments, days in the sunMoments I was second to noneMoments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't doLike the day I walked away from the wineFor a woman who became my wifeAnd a love that, when it was right,Could always see me throughLookin' at me now you might not know itBut I've had my momentsI know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonightThat old man tells his story one more timeHe saysI've had my moments, days in the sunMoments I was second to noneMoments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't doLike that cool night on the E. Street BridgeWhen a young man almost ended itI was right there, wasn't scared a bitAnd I helped to pull him throughLookin' at me now you might not know itOh, lookin' at me now you might not know itBut I've had my moments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll soon be 46 and considering my family history I'm sure I'd be a candidate for end of life counseling from some Washington Death Watch Squad. I'm quite certain they'd give me the old "thumbs down" and let me be on my way.It's a lot easier to give when the money isn't yours.True dat.

KhaoticRebel Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 there is no excuse for not working (even mentally disabled people work at supermarts as greeters and baggers)EXACTLY! Sure they're not all glamorous jobs, but there are plenty of jobs out there. I get pissed when some lazy ass bum asks for what I have worked hard to earn. If they have a disability, they can still get a job. If they're a druggie, then that's their problem and I'm not paying to support their habit. I have zero sympathy for bums.

Tomorrow if he asks for money I am going to slam him like he is an 84 year old lady. Not really I will just say no and go about my businessi dont know if my experience with a bum is a true experience with a "bum" but i will shoot anyway.about 4 years ago in cincy when i was waiting for a building to open so we could do work inside a guy came up to me asking for $15. he explained that he needed the money in order to get some paperwork from the city building in order to get the job he aplied for at the wendys up the street. i had a few $20 bills in my wallet and gave him one. told him good luck! he thanked me and went on his way. i wanst sure if he was lieing or not but i really didnt care.about a week and a half later i went into the wendys and saw the guy working. it was a pretty awesome sight. he gave me a smile and i did the same. i kow he carred the job for the next year or so, and he offered to give me the $20 back a couple of times but i never took it.but thats abou the only good experience with a bum that i have had. i rarely, i mean rarely give money to beggars. mostly because of personal opinions about them, some of which have previosly been stated in this thread actually....i just figured i would give my good experience.

If I have something I will usually help out. Spare change whatever. A few years ago I was returning from Ft. Benning, GA to see my nephew graduate from basic. In Columbus, GA I met a guy at the terminal while outside smoking who asked for anything I could spare. I had all my money, and cards (credit and bank) in my front right pocket (don't like to keep it all in wallet) and as soon as I pulled out my stuff he grabbed it ALL and ran. I was in such shock that he just did that by the time I realized I had been ripped off, he had turned a corner and split. Not knowing the area I didn't pursue.Fast forward a few hours late I am in Birmingham, AL. It's around midnite and I'm hungry as hell. Out of cigarettes and no cash to take care of the problem. I sat alone waiting for bus to re-board. Greyhound employee approached me and asked if all was ok. At first I said I was fine but he pushed for more information. I finally told him what happened. He said he'd be back. about 10 minutes later he returned with 2 sandwiches, 2 sodas, a cup of fresh coffee and a pack of Marlboro Reds. I tried to refuse but he insisted. This guy didn't know me from anyone and went out of his way to do that. Upon returning home I withdrew $100 from my bank and placed those 5 $20 bills in an envelope. I had remembered his name from his nametag and mailed the $$$ away to the station with his name on the envelope. Hope he got it. By the way sent it without a return address.
